Soccer comedy stars Helena Bonham Carter
CANNES -- Gary Rubin's First Independent Pictures has picked up U.S. distribution rights to "Sixty Six," a soccer bar mitzvah comedy from Working Title.
The movie is directed by "Made of Honor" helmer Paul Weiland and stars Helena Bonham Carter as the mother of a boy whose bar mitzvah conflicts with the 1966 World Cup finals, in which England is playing. The film was released in the U.K. in 2006; FIP will put the movie in limited release in New York and Los Angeles in early August and roll it out after that. ICM repped the filmmakers.
